Hi,
cough, cold and shivering suggests infection. She requires antihistamines with anti inflammatory drugs along with salt water gargle and steam inhalation. If fever, throat pain with sputum production antibiotics will be required.
Since these are prescription drugs, consult your doctor once. This is not emergency.
